Professional statement

Sarah utilizes an integrative approach of ACT, DBT, and CBT, along with mindfulness and strength-based strategies to help clients achieve their goals. She understands all clients are unique, so she fine-tunes her approach to best serve the individual. Her clients experience a welcoming environment where they are free to explore their innermost thoughts, ideas, and experiences.

As an Asian American woman, Sarah understands the barriers many individuals face when trying to connect with providers who truly understand your worldview and lived experiences. She is committed to creating a therapeutic space where clients feel represented, validated, and empowered. Together, she works with clients make meaningful change. Exploring both internal and external challenges, gaining insight into how these experiences impact daily life, and developing practical, effective ways to navigate them with greater confidence and clarity.

Message to clients

Working with me is a collaborative and supportive experience. Together, we will explore and unpack your lived experiences, strengthen your inner voice, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely safe, understood, and supported.

Life can feel overwhelming, clouding your sense of self but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many people have learned to minimize their pain or carry their struggles internally, but therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to hold that burden.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about strengthening and fine tuning skills you already possess, while supporting you as you build self-trust, confidence, and resilience.
